Russia's Valery Borzov, 26, the defending champion in the 100 meters, had the opposite problem-plenty of pacemakers. After flirting with withdrawal, Jamaica decided to keep its engagement in Montreal, leaving Don Quarrie, a current world record holder, in the race. In, too, was Trinidad's Hasely Crawford, 25, who won the 100-yard dash for Eastern Michigan University in last year's NCAA Championships. And stalking Borzov most obviously was Harvey Glance, a 19-year-old freshman from Auburn University. Glance won Friday's heat with the day's fastest time...

This week he faces the man to beat in that department.

Valery Borzov, from the little Ukrainian town of Novaya Kakhovka, had beaten every international runner to face him in three seasons. If anyone could conquer him by the time the Games began, it seemed it might be the "Southern Arrow," Pietro Mennea, a native of Barletta on the heel of Italy...
